Features Easy Operation, Ultimate Reliability, Enhanced Serviceability With Added Safety
GOMACO originated and patented the cylinder finisher concept in the early 1960s and pioneered the bridge deck finisher. Building on four decades of engineering and manufacturing experience, we introduced the C-450. Engineers redesigned the C-450 with the belief that a well-maintained machine is a better machine and the finisher is an example of the best getting even better. The C-450 features easy operation, ultimate reliability and value, and enhanced serviceability with added safety.
Now Available with Transitional Framework and Third Wheel Assist

The transitional framework is a new design option for the GOMACO C-450 cylinder finisher that provides faster assembly and weight savings compared to wider-width finishers requiring an overhead truss system. The new frame features transition sections connecting the C-450's standard 24 inch (610 mm) tall framework to the 42 inch (1067 mm) tall framework used on a C-750 finisher. The frame sections only need to be pin-connected and the cross arms bolted in place.
The overhead truss system is eliminated. The transitional framework not only provides a much quicker assembly time, but also decreases the weight of the machine considerably. It is estimated to be eight pounds per foot (11.9 kg/m) lighter when compared to a machine with overhead truss.
The transitional framework sections can also be removed and the C-450 can finish at smaller widths with its standard 24 inch (610 mm) framework. The new framework allows the versatility of two finishers in one for the narrower or wider widths. The new transitional framework can be added to new or existing C-450s.
GOMACO's line of bridge deck finishers is also available with the optional third wheel assist on the standard bogies to further distribute the machine's weight while traveling on the rails. The optional third wheel assist bogies, on each side of the finisher, consist of two single-wheel idler bogies attached to the spreader beam. It's a simple modification that can be made to any C-450 or C-750 to help spread the weight out and reduce the wheel load on the overhang brackets.

Easy Operation
• Operator enhanced monitoring of machine functions with panel mounted bogie and carriage circuit pressure gauges, air filter restriction gauge, hydraulic oil temperature gauge, hour meter, and circuit test gauges.
• Console and operator’s platform can be placed anywhere on the frame.
• Reorganized plumbing and hose routing for ease in setup and operation.
• Automatic advance is standard on the C-450 and automatically advances any pre-set distance at the end of each carriage pass.
• Automatic self-widening will automatically control the carriage travel distance through the use of proximity switches for widening or tapering of decks.
• Urethane coated wheels with removable flanges for multiple applications.
• Powered widening for maintaining crown position on tapered decks.
• Power transition adjusters (PTA) can be installed at pin-connected points and are hydraulically operated for on-the-go grade elevation changes.
Ultimate Reliability and Value
• Features the future world standard in hydraulic plumbing with crimp-style hydraulic hoses with O-ring face seal fittings and adapters.
• Quiet operation from shroud on the console. The locking shroud also provides theft protection and security from vandalism.
• All previous style undercarriages and attachments will fit on the upper carriage of the C-450.
• The GOMACO frame design has been maintained for interchangeability with your existing C-450 framework.
• The wheel base was increased to 36 in. (914 mm) for improved distribution of the wheel load.
Enhanced Serviceability
• Modular design features removable oil tank for interchangeability and easy clean out.
• More capacity has been added to the fuel tank for extended operation.
• Easy access to daily service points.
• Self-monitoring restriction gauge on oil filter to ensure proper maintenance and serviceability of the system.
• Features an environmentally friendly, industrial 7 micron filter system with restriction gauge.
• All engine service points can be accessed from the right side of the console. The molded fiberglass engine shroud is lightweight and allows quick and easy access.
Added Safety
• Easy to remove roto-molded fenders to access bogie wheels and drive components.
• Emergency stop buttons are strategically located on both the console and carriage. Additional emergency stop buttons are available for providing optimal use for specific applications.
• Rear console exhaust is directed away from the operator.
• Operator station is positioned to provide high visibility of the entire operation.
SL-450 Conversion Kit
The GOMACO C-450 can be converted to an SL-450 with the slope paver conversion kit. The kit includes four slope adapter jack mounts, two stationary jack mounts, carriage engine slope mounts, slope idler sprocket assemblies, drive chain, end panel drive sprockets, carriage wheels, and two hydraulic motors. The complete slope paver conversion kit is specifically designed for field installation. The SL-450 is designed for fast trimming and finishing, strict tolerances, even on 1:1 (45 degree) slopes, with a minimum of handfinishing.
Versatile Frame and Finishing Width
The frame width for both the C-450 cylinder finisher and SL-450 slope and canal cylinder finisher, without overhead truss assembly, is from 12 ft. (3.66 m) to 76 ft. (23.16 m), and the finishing width is from 9 ft. (2.74 m) to 73 ft. (22.25 m). The frame width on both the C-450 and SL-450 with overhead truss assembly is a minimum of 12 ft. (3.66 m) to a maximum of 120 ft. (36.58 m). The finishing width is from 9 ft. (2.74 m) to a maximum of 117 ft. (35.66 m).
